Title: Improvements relating to dried reconstitutable food
Inventor: CHRISTIE THOMAS HENRY
IPC: A23L11/00
Filed: 1961-10-19
Abstract: 1,027,002. Dried reconstitutable foods. MATTHEW WHITE & CO. Ltd. Oct. 17, 1962 [Oct. 19, 1961; Jan. 24, 1962], Nos. 37511/61 and 2601/62. Headings A2B and A2D. The pre-soaking or cooking time of a food material is reduced by forming a mixture of the food material with "commercial glucose" in solution, the period of mixing being such that the glucose is absorbed into at least the outer portion of each particle of food material, and thereafter drying the particles of food material. The food material may be emulsified or reduced to flour depending on its constitution, formed into a paste with the commercial glucose in solution, dried, and formed into powder or granules. Alternatively, the food material may be mixed, when in its entire state, with the commercial glucose in solution, the treated material being subsequently reduced to a powdered or granular state. The food material is mixed with the commercial glucose in solution for a period sufficient for absorption of the glucose into each food particle but less than would result in softening or weakening of the structure of the food material. The term "commercial glucose" covers "liquid glucose", corn syrup, crystal syrup and confectioners' glucose. Food materials mentioned are (a) wheat, oats, barley, maize, rye, corn and rice, (b) peas, lentils, beans and butter beans, split peas and lentils, and their flours, (c) fresh, or dehydrated or otherwise pre-heated, vegetables, and (d) fresh, or dried or otherwise preserved, fruits. The treated food materials are reconstituted by boiling in hot water or soup for a short period. They may be prepared in the form of flakes, granules and specified shapes. According to an example, to 2 lbs. of flour or green peas there is added 4 ozs. of comercial glucose and 16 fluid ozs. of cold or hot water, and the mixture is made into a paste. This paste is then dried in an oven at atmospheric pressure or under reduced pressure and the dried product is mechanically reduced to the desired granular size by forcing through a sieve. In a further example, 2 lb. of split lentils are boiled at atmospheric pressure in a solution of 4 ozs, of commercial glucose and 25 fluid ozs. of water for a period of 8 minutes. The mixture is then passed through a sieve, after which it is dried in an oven and the dried product is mechanically reduced to the desired powder or granular form. Other examples are directed to the treatment of carrots, turnips and onions, and to the preparation of a green pea soup containing green pea meal, onion powder and dried meat stock, a lentil soup containing lentil meal, onion powder, carrots, turnips or swedes, and dried meat or ham stock, and a tomato soup containing yellow pea meal, onion powder, carrots, dried meat stock and tomato pureÚ. All these ingredients excepting the ham or meat stock, had been treated with commercial glucose in accordance with the invention.

Abstract: 316,843. Gl÷ckner, P. Dec. 20, 1928. Sheet-separators. - Sheets are fed to and delivered from platen presses by means of moving suction nozzles u, Fig. 2, connected by pipes v, q, r to a suction pump capable of reducing the air pressure in the nozzles u to a lower pressure than necessary. The pump comprises a cylinder b which can swing about a pivot a, and a piston c operated by a lever f and a rod d guided by both ends of the cylinder. The piston c acts in each direction to force air through flap valves s and reduce the air pressure in an equalizing chamber h connected to the cylinder b by means of passages l, m in a casing g, valves n, o permitting passage of air from chamber h to cylinder b. The piston c is capable of reducing the pressure in chamber h and the pipes g, r, v quickly and to a pressure lower than required, but an adjustable vent valve t permits air to enter the equalizing chamber h if the pressure is reduced below a given limit. A detachable cover i permits access to chamber h to remove dust, and the construction prevents accumulation of dust in chamber b. The nozzles are arranged in two sets one for feed and one for delivery, and cam-operated valves in chambers w in the pipes v cut off the connection between the chamber i and these two sets of nozzles alternately.

Abstract: 1,012,740. Semi-conductors. LICENTIA PATENT - VERWALTUNGS - G.m.b.H. Oct. 10, 1962, No. 38385/62. Heading H1K. An oxide layer of a semi-conductor material is formed on the surface of a second semi-conductor material by thermal precipitation from a compound of the first material, in vapour phase, first in an inert atmosphere, on to the heated surface of the second material and subsequently introducing oxygen into the inert atmosphere to cause the first material to continue to be deposited as an oxide thereof. The layer initially deposited is only a few atoms thick. The two semi-conductor materials may be identical, but deposition of oxides of germanium on silicon and vice versa are referred to. The compounds used may be hydrides or halides of germanium or silicon and the oxidizing atmosphere may be provided by introduction of a suitable oxide in vapour phase into the inert carrier gas or alternatively by the introduction of water vapour or oxygen gas directly. A description is given of the deposition of silicon oxide on a silicon wafer. The wafer or wafers are located within a reaction chamber, which may be of quartz, and heated electrically to between 900-1000‹ C. Silicon tetraiodide vapour is then introduced into the chamber in a stream of argon gas and deposition of silicon from the compound commences. Oxygen is then introduced into the chamber whereby further deposition of silicon is in the form of silicon oxide. The silicon oxide layer may be utilized either as a protective layer for an exposed PN junction region on the surface of the body or may be used as a mask for localized areas of the semi-conductor body during deposition of vaporized impurities.

Filed: 1967-08-21
Abstract: 1,241,656. 3-Etherified cephalosporin derivatives. GLAXO LABORATORIES Ltd. 6 Aug., 1968 [21 Aug., 1967], No. 38493/67. Headings C2A and C2C. [Also in Divisions A5-A6] Novel 7#-acylamino-3-etherified hydroxymethyl-ceph-3-em-4-carboxylic acids are prepared either (a) by N-acylating the corresponding 7#-amino-3-ether, which compounds are also novel, e.g. by reaction with an acid halide, anhydride or mixed anhydride, an active ester or azide, or an acid together with an esterifying agent; or (b) by reacting a 7#- acylamido - 3 - PCH 2  - ceph - 3 - em - 4 - carboxylic acid, wherein P is a group replaceable by an ether group, with an etherifying agent, optionally followed by N-deacylation and reacylation with a different acyl group, preferably by the method of Specification 1,241,655. P may be either a hydroxy or an acetoxy group. When P is hydroxy, etherification may be effected either directly, by reacting the compound with an orthoester such as MC(OR) 3  wherein M is hydrogen, alkyl or -OR and R is the required etherifying radical, or with a diazo compound, or an unsaturated compound activated by electron donating or attracting groups; or indirectly by first converting the 3-hydroxymethyl group to a 3-CH 2 X group where the corresponding acid HX has a pKa of not more than 4, and then reacting the 3- CH 2 X containing compound with an alcohol or phenol to convert X to the required ether group. The group X may be an ester group formed by esterifying the CH 2 OH group with, e.g. halo-, methoxy-, alkylthio-, or cyanoacetic acid, phenyl- or substituted phenylglyoxylic acid or glyoxylic acid itself, phenylpropiolic acid or formic acid; other examples of X are halogen, thio-ether groups, and isothiocyanate groups. When P is acetoxy, this group may be directly displaced by reaction with an alcohol or phenol in a polar medium to give the corresponding ether. In many of these procedures, the 4-carboxyl and 7#-amino group (if present), and any other carboxyl or amino substituent groups present, are protected by easily removable groups, e.g. urethane, trityl, arylmethylene, sulphenyl or enamine groups; alternatively the carboxyl group may be esterified and reaction conditions used wherein the NH 2  group remains protonated. D(-) - α - Formyloxy - α - phenylacetyl chloride is prepared by refluxing in benzene a mixture of D(-)-mandelic acid, p-toluenesulphonic acid and formic acid, to give D(-)-α-formyloxy-α- phenylacetic acid, which is isolated and then refluxed in benzene with thionyl chloride to give the required product.
